Here is another recipe from the Le Cordon Bleu MasterChef cooking class. To us it is known as a Rhubarb Crumble, but in Ireland they call it Grabhar Biabhog. I remember having rhubarb pies when I worked in Illinois, and they were always made with syrupy strawberries and rhubarb. I assumed that the pies would […]
A bazillion years ago at the State Fair of Texas in Big D there was a local chef demonstrating how to make Stir Fried Rice. At that point of my life, I do not believe I had ever heard of Stir Fried Rice. (This was long before Panda Express.) I sat through the demonstration, and […]
Labor Day 2012 – We had an indoor picnic. (Don’t want to be out among West Nile.) The menu was super simple, with no fancy table settings. We enjoyed being together. Queso dip and chips are a boy pleaser. The panini sandwiches were delicious. Everybody made their own sandwich to their own liking. Sandwich Sprinkles […]
WOW Reunion 2012- There it sat at the end of the counter. It had good presentation – tomatoes surrounded the edge of the bowl, and I thought it might be a rice salad. I took a good sized spoonful, and continued filling my plate with other delicious salads. Eventually I took a bite of the […]
This blog is brought to you on the recommendation of Ever-Lovin’. While traveling to the ends of the earth doing errands yesterday (Remember the leopard print lunch bag with hot pink trim.), out of the blue says he, “If you haven’t planned your blog for today, you could blog about the Avocado and Mango Salsa […]
An idea has been mulling in my brain for some time. Buttered Rum Banana Bread (click to see the original post) is a favorite at our house. I wrote about this recipe, and how easy breezy it is to make, (You mix it by hand.) and it is utterly delicious. But I got to thinking, and […]
It was so good to see Paula at the WOW Reunion. She is a dear friend and wonderful cook. (She has even worked at Williams-Sonoma. I am too jealous for words! It is little consolation that she spent more than she made. Wouldn’t I like to try that.) I love it when she emails […]
Long, long ago on a street not too far away, a dear friend made Good Banana Pudding (That is the official name of this recipe in her family cookbook). She served said Good Banana Pudding to Ever-Lovin’, and the rest is history. Ever-Lovin’ loves, loves, loves banana pudding, and this recipe sat a new standard. […]
The story I am about to tell is true. It is a little weird, but that’s how life is. Super Sister had pinned or repinned a recipe on Pinterest for 7.Up Biscuits. About a bazillion people repinned her pin. This was a hot recipe. I so wanted to see what all the fuss was about. […]
The Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake recipe is a staple in many kitchens in Texas and probably beyond. In my mother’s cookbook A+ in Cooking no fewer than 17 people submitted the recipe for the Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake. Talk about a favorite. A couple of years ago, good friend Nancy – who is an excellent […]
